Re: I know this is a tech forum, lets give these credit!!
You can't be serious.
A lot of the launch ramps in our area (northern Canada) have a dirt or sand surface. And one often has to back the tow vehicle well into the water to launch and load. A high clearance 4x4, like a pickup or SUV, is pretty much a necessity.
I'm only half serious...LOL The comment was TIC. I'm just not a truck kinda guy. If I had to own a truck just to drive to the launch ramp twice a week, and drive the klunky thing all week long, I'd buy a boathouse instead. Just my likes and dislikes. Y'all can drive what you like.
In FL you wont' see a car at a boat ramp unless its a towing a jetski. The boats down here average well over 20' and tow weight is well over 5000lbs. Not too many cars built to take that kind of punishment.
Very true. That's why when I found a car that WAS built to take it, I dedicated it to the boat and have kept it pristeen ever since.
BTW, my car is the only one at the launch ramp. I get comments all the time about how it won't pull that boat out. After they see how easy I do it, nobody says anoither word!
